 * After using this plugin, Its taking so much CPU usage, especially when I am adding
   new post. Sometime CPU load goes above 10 or sometime above 20.
 * How can i resolve this?
 * Actually, I am using wordpress for news.worldsnap.com site and its news website.
 * When new news comes, I am adding it as post and I just want to refresh homepage,
   related categories page and post page itself. I dont want to refresh any other
   pages.
 * If this can happen then I can keep timeout of 86400 instead of 3600 as i dont
   want other pages to be refreshed in every hour.
 * W3 total cache allow this but its taking so much CPU load and even I loved wp
   super cache but wp super cache doesnt have selective refresh cache option. This
   functionality can help our site.
